Joan van der Spriet (c. 1660 – ) was a Dutch painter who specialised in portrait painting. According to Arnold Houbraken, Spriet grew up in a Delft orphanage and became a pupil of Jan Verkolje. He was a portrait painter who moved to England and, after marrying there, settled there.[1] According to the Netherlands Institute for Art History, Spriet was also a printmaker, but no known works survive.[2]
